Economic and Clinical Benefit of Remote Monitoring Among Defibrillator Patients by Indication Subgroups (BENEFIT-RM)
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Patients With Defibrillator
In brief
Remote monitoring is now universally available for all cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), and it has become the standard of care for the management of patients with these devices. In many countries, it is being proven that patients with implantable defibrillator (ICD) or cardiac resynchronizing therapy (CRT) can benefit from remote monitoring (RM) both economically and clinically. From previous RM related clinical studies, it is reasonably accepted that hospitalization cost and mortality rate is comparably higher in defibrillator patients compared to pacemaker indicated patients. However, it is yet to be discovered which group of defibrillator patients are the most beneficiaries using remote monitoring system. In this study, the investigators would further categorize defibrillator patients into different indication subgroups and compare both economic and clinical benefits among different indication. By comparing economic and clinical benefits of remote monitoring by different subgroups, the investigators might be able to set a guideline on which group of patients should be strongly suggested for remote monitoring utilization. Therefore, the investigators perform a prospective study in Korean population to compare economic and clinical benefits of RM compared to conventional follow-up in overall study cohort and by different subgroups. (ICD \& CRT-D).
